Synonyms: Hyracea Haeckel 1895 ; Hyraciformes Kinman 1994 ; Laminungula Gray 1869 ; Lamnungia Van der Hoeven 1858 ; Lamnunguia Illiger 1811 ; Procaviata Imamura 1961 .

Families: 1 family with 3 genera and 4 species:

Family Procaviidae Thomas 1892 (3 genera with 4 species and 48 subspecies)

Discussion: Traditionally (since Huxley, 1869) the category or rank of "Order" has been used for Hyracoidea . In 1997, McKenna and Bell, following cladistic classification, proposed a new category – "Suborder" for Hyracoidea , in the "Order" Uranotheria McKenna and Bell (1997). For stability I retain the ordinal category, recognizing the cladistic message implied by the McKenna and Bell arrangement.
